Carlin may have been reading A. Bartlett Giamatti when he dreamed up his routine: Baseball teaches us that, long as you travel and far as you roam, the purpose is to get back home, back to where the others are. (From "Men of Baseball, Lend An Ear," published in The New York Times during the 1981 baseball strike.)

Don't get me wrong, I like both sports. But your original post automatically made me think of that routine....and that's a very nice quote.
